The International Civil Aviation Organization, ICAO announced that for the first time, sustainable aviation fuels (SAF) have been certified under the Carbon Offsetting and Reduction Scheme for International Aviation (CORSIA), making use of the two ICAO-approved Sustainability Certification Schemes designed for this purpose.

The nine batches, totalling 1,542 tonnes, were certified by ISCC and RSB and produced in China, the Netherlands, and the United States – from wastes and have 75–84% lower carbon emissions than conventional jet fuel.

“This milestone shows that CORSIA global framework for sustainability assessment is robust and ready to support the achievement of ICAO’s goals on climate change.”
